“…Farmers' wisdom about the use of antibiotics is another important determinant to provoke the problem of antibiotic resistance [60]. A study showed that most farmers have no clear idea about AMR and the withdrawal period of antibiotics [61]. Resistance to antibiotics includes -first, transfer of AMR pathogens through the food chain, and transfer of AMR genes from animal enteric flora to human pathogens.…”

Antimicrobial uses for livestock production in developing countries

Antimicrobial is an indispensable part of veterinary medicine used for the treatment and control of diseases as well as a growth promoter in livestock production. Frequent use of antimicrobials in veterinary practices may lead to the residue in animal originated products and creates some potential problems for human health. The presence of antimicrobial residues in animal originated foods may induce serious health problems such as allergic reaction, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and lead to carcinogenic and mutagenic effects in the human body. The misuse or abuse of antibiotics in human medicine is thought to be a principal cause of AMR but some antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and their resistant genes originating from animals are also responsible for developing AMR. However, the residual effect of antimicrobials in feed and food products of animal origin is undeniable. In developing countries, the community is unaware of this residual effect due to lack of proper information about antibiotic usage, AMR surveillance, and residue monitoring system. It is imperative to reveal the current situation of antimicrobial use in livestock production and its impacts on public health. Moreover, the safety levels of animal feeds and food products of animal origin must be strictly monitored and public awareness should be developed against the indiscriminate use of antimicrobial in animal production. Therefore, the current review summarizes the literature on antimicrobial use in livestock production and its hazardous residual impacts on the human body in developing countries.

“…This has resulted in the presence of pathogenic bacteria resistant to commonly used antimicrobials in water resources and salad vegetables which are significant from a public health perspective [53][54][55][56][57]. The prevalence of Salmonella species was found to vary between 60% to 78% in different street foods in Chittagong while multidrug resistant Salmonella was found in each of the food items tested [58]. Besides, antimicrobials were found to be used routinely to increase food animal production, resulting in the spread of antibiotic resistant organisms from farms to environment to community [53].…”

“…Besides, antimicrobials were found to be used routinely to increase food animal production, resulting in the spread of antibiotic resistant organisms from farms to environment to community [53]. Around 24% of goat farmers mentioned that they were familiar with the term antibiotic but none of them had any idea about antimicrobial resistance nor withdrawal period [58]. The hospitals of Dhaka city are also contributing to the process by discharging untreated medical wastes in the water, resulting in the presence of high-levels of resistant E. coli in the water [53].…”

Tackling antimicrobial resistance in Bangladesh: A scoping review of policy and practice in human, animal and environment sectors

et al. 2020

Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become an emerging issue in the developing countries as well as in Bangladesh. AMR is aggravated by irrational use of antimicrobials in a largely unregulated pluralistic health system. This review presents a 'snap shot' of the current situation including existing policies and practices to address AMR, and the challenges and barriers associated with their implementation. Methods A systematic approach was adopted for identifying, screening, and selecting relevant literature on AMR situation in Bangladesh. We used Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Biomed Central databases for searching peer-reviewed literature in human, animal and environment sectors during January 2010-August 2019, and Google for grey materials from the institutional and journal websites. Two members of the study team independently reviewed these documents for inclusion in the analysis. We used a 'mixed studies review' method for synthesizing evidences from different studies. Result Of the final 47 articles, 35 were primary research, nine laboratory-based research, two review papers and one situation analysis report. Nineteen articles on human health dealt with prescribing and/or use of antimicrobials, five on self-medication, two on non-compliance of dosage, and 10 on the sensitivity and resistance patterns of antibiotics. Four papers focused on the use of antimicrobials in food animals and seven on environmental

“…In livestock, antibiotics are mainly used to treat diseases. Two hospital-based studies reported that antimicrobials were prescribed to treat 56–66% of sick animals [ 58 , 59 ]. The most commonly prescribed antibiotics were streptomycin–penicillin (31%) followed by sulfadimidine (14%), amoxicillin (11%), gentamicin–sulfadiazine–trimethoprim combination (9%), and tylosin (1%) [ 58 ].…”

Antibiotic Usage and Resistance in Food Animal Production: What Have We Learned from Bangladesh?

et al. 2021

Irrational and inappropriate use of antibiotics in commercial chicken and aquaculture industries can accelerate the antibiotic resistance process in humans and animals. In Bangladesh, the growing commercial chicken and aquaculture industries are playing significantly important roles in the food value chain. It is necessary to know the antibiotic usage practices and antibiotic resistance in food animal production to design rational policies, guidelines, and interventions. We conducted a narrative review to understand the level of antibiotic usage and resistance in food animal production in Bangladesh. Information about antibiotic usage in different food animal production systems, including commercial chickens and aquaculture in Bangladesh is inadequate. Only a few small-scale studies reported that the majority (up to 100%) of the broiler and layer chicken farms used antibiotics for treating and preventing diseases. However, numerous studies reported antibiotic-resistant bacteria of public health importance in commercial chicken, fish, livestock, and animal origin food. The isolates from different pathogenic bacteria were found resistant against multiple antibiotics, including quinolones, the third or fourth generation of cephalosporins, and polymyxins. Veterinary practitioners empirically treat animals with antibiotics based on presumptive diagnosis due to inadequate microbial diagnostic facilities in Bangladesh. Intensive training is helpful to raise awareness among farmers, feed dealers, and drug sellers on good farming practices, standard biosecurity practices, personal hygiene, and the prudent use of antibiotics. Urgently, the Government of Bangladesh should develop and implement necessary guidelines to mitigate irrational use of antibiotics in food animals using a multi-sectoral One Health approach.
